I'm with tech on this one.. meaning you knew exactly what you're dealing with.. of course I understand that he was a big pia.. so big that he wore out his welcome to the world community..
When discussing a specific topic such as Sad'am it makes me long for the days before the Dem Church Comm began castrating the CIA. Years ago, when the CIA was managing Central America, I hitch hiked solo thru Hondoras. Kids with uniforms and weapons would give me a big wave.. It confused me until I found out later that they figured I must be a local CIA guy 'cause no tourist would be doing what I'm doing.. meaning give the CIA a manager like the old/dead CIA boss Bill Casey and the mid east would be assisted in getting their act together.
oh yeah.. the complete congress would have to return to the post WW2 survival mode in order to untie the pros.
